Peruvian Jaguars need YOU!!
Posted by msterilinn on Jan 24, 2007
Due to the greed of a few, many will suffer. Because those suffering cannot speak for themselves, we must be their voice, and champion their cause. Their home is destroyed, and as they try to flee the wanton destruction, their lives are taken. Will we just stand by while these creatures, and the trees we all need to live and breathe, are facing extinction as so many have before them?
Help save jaguars and other Peruvian wildlife!
Take action online now at..
“Help Save Peruvian Wildlife”
The Peru Free Trade Agreement would sanction the destruction
of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest — home to jaguars, long-haired
spider monkeys, blue-headed macaws, giant river otters and other
endangered species.
The cause of the destruction: rampant, illegal logging of mahogany,
an endangered tree species. The tree is considered so valuable that
loggers stop at nothing to cut it down — blazing roads into
pristine rainforest in remote national parks for just three trees.
And with the logging, comes hunting. Once in the forest, mahogany
loggers kill jaguars for their skin and trap monkeys and birds for
the pet trade.
Urge your elected officials to oppose legislation that gives Peru
a free pass to continue illegal logging that’s destroying crucial
habitat for jaguars and other wildlife. “Take Action Now!!”
